Abstract
Based on Turnbull's concept of the importance of transient nucleation during phase transformations in solids, a general theory of nucleation has been developed. The nucleation mechanism for reactions where stable nuclei appear only during cooling or plastic deformation has been clarified. The general theory makes possible quantitative description of the rates of nucleation of all phase transformations as well as of fracture cracks, slip bands, and magnetic transformations in solids.
